Greg: Lets cover this thing one item at a time: 1. Was it hard to get off? Not really but you probably will need a wheel puller. Once that was off it was just removing the parts as you come to them. You have to dismantle the front end, (grill radiator etc) 2. Will you have to buy a complete clutch: Probably not. This is not the problem that I have had, but I had to buy 3 parts, and not every one. 3. Do you need a manual. The answer is probably. I know that I could not have done it without. Now if you can wait until next week to reassemble the mower and can give me a fax number I can fax you a few pages that should cover the clutch problem. I would search the Internet to see if you can find the operators manual. I know that is where I got my current copy. Both the Shop manual and the parts list are good to have. I you only get one, get the shop manual. Engine Oil. I just use 10w-30 Havoline. Havoline just because that is what I use in my cars. It holds just a little over 1 quart, and just a little more with the filter changed. When you speak of hydraulic oil, I am guessing this means Hydrostatic oil for the transmission. The dipstick is the black cap under the seat. The drain plug is (as you are looking from the back of the tractor), the drain plug is on the bottom right side under the axle. Capacity is 5.28 qts. Hold on to your walled. This oil is expensive and you must use their brand supposedly. Its name is Honda HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID. To my knowledge there is no filter.
